2 Sketches 4 You # 66

Hi,
Hope you are keeping warm... I seem to go cold every time I move out of this room... winter is well and truely with us...
Here is my take on Laura's Sketch 66 over at 2 Sketches 4 You. The image is one my mum gave me... she really is such a sweetheart. I am on a really tight budget with my crafting at the moment and she gets me some great stuff to help me keep going, like I don't have loads anyway...
Well, I haven't managed to make any today... I did this one yesterday... fingers crossed for more time to myself tomorrow evening. I am getting a little more Christmassy in my thinking, have made lots of lists today. I am a list person, it's how I actually get things done... by writing things down and making lists... my calender is one of my most important things. If it disappeared all hell would break loose here... it tells me what everyone else is doing and it tells me what I am doing... I have a great memory for things I don't need to remember, like song lyrics, useless information, etc. But anything that I need to remember... well, thats why I have the calender! Before the kids, I had a filofax... a lovely one that I doodled all over, with lots of pretty things...
Anyway, I'm shattered so I'm off to bed to read.

Friday Sketchers 129

Hi,
Here is my take on Friday Sketchers lovely sketch #129. I made this and it is so cute, I want it on my card tree!!!!!! ha! Anyway, the paper is from a small pack of Dovecraft paper that I picked up at a craft fair... I am really pleased with it... never sure of things I buy on impulse, I mean how many times do I do that and never use it!!!!!


I can't seem to get into the Christmas spirit yet... I keep thinking about all these things I need to sort out and instead I'm sitting their browsing all these beautiful craft sites and blogs!!!!
Hopefully I will get a couple of the others I made uploaded later... I actually have made 9 now... I think I need about 40 more!!!!! Argh!!!!!!!

Mojo Monday - 165

Hey!
I am sorry that I have just not had time to craft... I had a really tough college assignment that has been driving me nuts!!!!! and it has left me behind in my Christmas cards, behind in everything to be honest!!!!
Anyway, I made a card tonight... I really have to have a good session tomorrow... My inspiration came from a lovely sketch from Mojo Monday - 165, gorgeous... I totally enjoyed myself, it really made me feel better. I did get distracted and played with my cuttlebug for a little while, so hopefully this will inspire me to get on with my cards tomorrow.


I hope you are all better organised than I am, and life is treating you well. I am determined to devote at least a couple of days to my sorting out Christmas cards and shopping lists... one minute Christmas is months away, then you blink and find people are saying 'when shall we get together for exchanging gifts????' OMG!!!
I'm off to have a hot chocolate and then I'm going to bed... it's so cold tonight!!!! Winter is coming!!!!!
Night night!

Cute card - Friday Sketchers

Hi,
Well, my inspiration for this card came from Friday Sketchers #125 - nice sketch to work from - and I am using this really sweet hedgehog image from a group of things my mum gave me... She is always passing on card stuff to me... I seem to spend all my money on scrapbooking stuff and I think she is determined to get me to keep using my stash instead of storing it up and just admiring it!!!! I'm really pleased with this card... even if I say so myself, it's cute!

I have been cutting out snowflakes with my new Marianne Creatable Snowflake die-cutters and my cuttlebug... see I do use it!!!!! It's not just a pretty pink thing!!!! I am really pleased with them although I did struggle to get some of them out!!!! Have some flowers to play with next... them hope to sneak a butterfly into a shopping basket at some point throughout the week!!!! hee

hee!!!! I am doing very well on my craft budgeting... honest ;)

I am going to make myself a Christmas planner... made one last year and have to admit, I was actually a bit more organised. I hate to think of it so early, but I really have to these days to get everything sorted so that I don't get stressed. I used to be one of these people who put the tree the sunday before christmas (even if it were the day before christmas eve) and do my christmas shopping on christmas eve... then I had kids... well, that says it all really... you just can't get away with that run around thing, can you? So Christmas Planner here I come...

Hope you are well and happy!

2 Sketches 4 You...

Hi ya!
Hope you are all smiling... here is the other card I made using the peel offs... Inspiration from Kazan's Sketch over at 2 Sketches 4 You... Great sketch... Love this snowflake paper, I dug it out of a pile of papers I had totally forgotten that I had... don't you just love doing that when you love the paper?


My kids break up for half term today... I am so determined to get them making their own christmas cards for all their school friends and teachers, I have it all organised in a box. Anything different from my son playing games machines... he would be on them all day every day if I allowed it... drives me mad that he never gets fed up... I always have to drag him off!!!!

Am going to enjoy my peace and quiet now, and have a play at another Christmas card! Hope you find time to play too...
Hugs

Bonus Sketch - 2 Sketches 4 You.

Hi,

Seem to be having trouble uploading piccies today... I actually made two cards yesterday afternoon... inspiration coming from 2Sketches4You. This is one of the Bonus Sketches. Hopefully I can upload the other one at some point today. Still using the sheet of peel offs... quite like this one... I wanted a sentiment on it, but I seem to have one of those days where I couldn't find anything I wanted yesterday!!!!

Seems fitting to keep thinking snowflakes... it was absolutely freezing this morning! Need to dig out my jumpers so that I can wear more layers... I am one of these people who would be happy to hibernate throughout the winter... with internet shopping you can actually imagine yourself making it a reality... well, I can dream!!!! Hope you are keeping warm!
Hugs
